Calculation of the Credit

The solidarity tax credit for the period from July 2020 to June 2021 is based on your situation on December 31, 2019. To calculate your credit, we will add the amounts to which you are entitled under each of the three credit components:

Your family income is the amount on line 275 of your return plus, if you had a spouse on December 31, 2019, the amount on line 275 of your spouse's return.

If your family income is equal to or greater than the maximum family income shown in the table below, you will not receive the solidarity tax credit. If it is less, complete Schedule D so that we can determine the amount of the tax credit to which you are entitled.

Important

If your principal residence is located in anorthern village, do not take the table below into account. Simply complete Schedule D.

Note

Enter $2,077 for each child for whom you or your spouse received a family allowance payment from Retraite Québec for the month of December 2019. Enter the same amount for each child born (or adopted) in December 2019 for whom you or your spouse received the family allowance payment for the month of January 2020.

You can claim the solidarity tax credit even if, on December 31, 2019, you lived in a dwelling that is not eligible, such as a dwelling in low-rental housing (HLM). In this case, we will take into account only the QST component and, if applicable, the component for individuals living in a northern village.
